Android changes everything, and for the global microelectronics and semiconductor industry the smartphone and the Android ecosystem represents an enormous opportunity.
China is uniquely positioned to capitalize on Android. So is Silicon Valley, and so are scores of innovation destinations around the globe.
Android, observers believe, has the ability to diseminate smartphones all over the planet, at highly competitive, very low prices. The impact of connecting and empowering people in the farthest corners of the globe with this technology will be enormous, observers agree.
Open, and totally disruptive, Android is enabling a revolution in the ranks of an emerging generation of Chineses design engineers, now ready to embrace the world of fabless semiconductor design, which will position China as a formidable contender in the global consumer electronics industry by next year.
According to published reports, The first disruptive technology of the 21st century has set off off a boom in Android-based fabless semiconductor design houses in China, many of them backed by Valley VC funds.
Forget factories and the vast, the endless electronics manufacturing centers of southern China that produce mobile phones for export. Why Android is so important is because it will usher in the 'Designed in China' era for the first time, in a very serious way. This trend pulsed a bit at this year's CES in Las Vegas. Next year it will be giant wave.
Unlike the PC or Apple worlds, Android is Google: open, ubiquitous, and now viral.
What's happening in China's microelectronics sector today is extremely significant. today is very significant. By all indications, China's fledgling electronics and semiconductor design sector has grown up.

To find out more about the why of Android Peter Clarke, The Next Silicon Valley, a website about tech destinations, interviewed Peter Clarke, the European News Director of EE Times based in the UK. The website published a summary and the complete video interview with Clarke, live from Gloucester, in its recent newsletters.
